WindApp

WindApp Overview

WindApp is a FREE mobile app (iOS and Android) for wind energy enthusiasts and professionals that can estimate your energy and monetary savings for a specific wind turbine based on your local wind resource.

Features such as built in mapping with your GPS location and the ability to add a customized wind PDF gives users the ability to account for local terrain and wind distributions. Default average wind speeds use a Rayleigh wind distribution.

Wind turbines listed are from manufacturers who are members of the WindApp community and direct links are available to their websites for more information. Manufacturers can provide very detailed information on the turbine specifications as well as costs and whether they are certified or not.

Electric rate data is based on the US EIA database however users may choose to input a specific rate themselves. Rebates and/or incentives discount are listed by state but separate values can also be applied.

Create Custom Profiles

WindApp guides the user through the process of creating a Profile to include your location, wind speed data, turbine choice, electric rate and incentives. Once completed, your Annual Energy Production (AEP), cost savings, and payback are determined for you.

Users can have as many Profiles as they like. Creating a profiles requires 6 steps:

Name Your Profile (1/6)

Pick a Location (2/6)

Determine Your Wind Data (3/6)

Pick a Wind Turbine (4/6)

Determine Your Electric Rate (5/6)

Determine Your Incentives (6/6)

WindApp will then determine your annual electric energy generated and the annual monetary savings, as well as tell you how long it will take to pay your money back.

Find a Turbine Installer

WindAppalso includes a listing of installers and their phone and email if they are members.

Manufacturers and installers can have their information updated at anytime and these updates are automatically uploaded to all the mobile app users, without the need to for the user to update the app itself.

Estimate Your Turbine Size

To get an idea of the size of turbine that might work for you, input your:

Average wind speed (meters/second)
Input your average wind speed or tap the location icon to get it automatically. (1.0 mph=0.447 m/s)

WindApp will estimate the rated power required (@ 11 m/s), the turbine diameter size and suggest the turbine category to find a turbine.
